My daughter got married here and I have to say, it was so much more beautiful than I expected. I would not expect other Chicago wedding venues to go all out the way they did to make sure the whole day was perfect for my girl, her new husband, and the family.

We were looking for something a little more classy than common baby shower venues in Chicago, and so we decided to use this company. They were a great option, hosting our fifty person guest list, providing full catering service and staffing, and doing it all for a very affordable price. We will definitely use them the next time we need a venue. More...

We had been to a friend's wedding at Lido Banquets last year and we liked the venue and had a good time, so we decided to consider it for our own wedding this year on May 3. We ended up booking the venue because it fit the size of our event and we were happy with the price and other amenities. We also particularly liked the food, which was way better quality than any banquet hall dinner we've had before.When we booked the venue, the new owner said they were doing some renovations ahead of our event and so we expected it to have some updates, but when we saw the makeover we were completely blown away. The entry way was completely renovated from carpet and basically a 90s kind of decor to totally modern marble and stone and had this really cool color changing lighting. It was like walking into the lobby of a boutique hotel downtown. They also added a gorgeous bridal room, which was one thing our friend who got married there last year said would have been really nice to have. I don't know how my wife, then fiance, would have lived without the bridal room to put all of her things in and get ready. The ballroom and bar also had all kinds of new touch ups and refreshes that make the whole vibe of the place fresh and modern.The new owners are super friendly and beyond professional. They understood everything we wanted and knew all the right questions to ask to make sure everything was accounted for and they made us feel confident the event would go off smoothly. On the night of the event, they were able to anticipate everything we needed and took care of every detail. Even when we made some last minute changes to the room arrangement and decorations, Andre was able to accommodate everything with no issues. We had 225 guests, which is not an easy fit without going to a big hotel ballroom, but Lido was a perfect fit!One of the reasons we looked into this venue in the first place was because we liked the food at our friend's wedding so much, so when we found out there were new owners, we wanted to make sure they offered the same menu choices and had the same quality. They said the chef had been there for something like 30 years and nothing had changed in the kitchen. We had a fabulous homestyle meal with mushroom soup, salad with homemade Italian dressing that was ridiculously good, roasted chicken on the bone, and beef that was slowcooked and melted in your mouth. Can't say enough good things about the dinner.We're still hearing about how much fun everybody had and how much they liked the dinner and the venue a month later and we couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended! More...

I was looking around for baby shower venues around Chicago. My friends and I decided to throw a surprise baby shower for our other friend.

I held my daughter's quinceanera in your banquet halls in Chicago and the party was a success! Everything from the preparation to the event itself ran smoothly. The exact appearance of the hall matched each description that my daughter mentioned. She had a great time with her friends. Many of my guests are asking about the food that you've served.

How can I describe Lido's in one word? AMAZING! The manager, Joanna, and the staff in this banquet hall are above and beyond, and provided great service and hospitality for my mother's surprise 60th Birthday back in November 2018. From the planning to the surprise was ran smoothly and no problems at all. The money spent for this banquet is well worth it and the food was delicious, all of my guests enjoyed it especially the addition bar. And the scenery of the room is perfect for a party of 200-250 guests and within the city. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone and enjoy the services they have to offer! More...

My friend hired the Lido banquet to cater and host her wedding. The staff was very courteous and the establishment was ran very professionally. I would give the decor a 3 only because I can't stand that typical banquet hall carpet flowers and whatever else is in there. It clashes with the rest of the decor. I would definitely recommend the service and venue to a friend. I find that type of carpet in all banquet halls. More...

Most of the staff were pleasant and professional and the food was tasty. I especially loved the meatballs! Very elegant table settings! The bartender was pretty awesome in remembering what we were drinking! That was fun! It was a great time!
The only suggestion I would have is to place the runner after everyone is seated, immediately before the wedding begins.
Note: I edited my review after learning some things occurred that were outside of the control of Lido's staff.

Nice and somewhat elegant. Be careful when renting to look around for cleaning and dusting cleanest. If you see dusty or cob webs on chandeliers let manager know to clean before your party. When family rented it was kind of rude that instead of telling us in how many minutes to make the last dance or drink call ... they just started telling our guest it was over. Lady bartender was rude yet she was asking for tipping by constantly pointing at the tipping jar. Staff member had a language issue only under stood (I believe) polish. More...

I am writing to express my extreme satisfaction with the an event we recently held at Lido Banquets. We had a retirement celebration for my mother. Thanks to Joanna for her attention to detail and professionalism throughout the entire planning process. We have been planning this for almost a year. Joanna was kind, pleasant, and patient throughout. She answered all of our questions and was incredibly courteous every single time we called / met with her (Note: we called several times, as we had three siblings planning the celebration, and we all had questions). She helped coordinate everything from the cake, to the gift table and even the beautiful sign outdoors, which read "Retiring in Style." As for the night of, we were blessed to have Peter seamlessly coordinate every single detail. He was professional, pleasant, and focused. You can tell he has a great passion for the work he does! Peter went above and beyond in every single way. When we first arrived, I brought fresh flowers to adorn the cake, but was not sure how to go about it (I didn't want to add them on there myself and risk ruining the cake). I saw Peter and handed him the flowers. He personally decorated the cake, and they looked beautiful!  Within a matter of minutes, he had made an elaborate design with the roses, and made an artistic craft out of the cake - absolutely PERFECT! Peter was poised and present throughout the evening, easy to find (in case we had questions, etc.), and was careful not to hover. He communicated with me throughout the evening, and was kind enough to make suggestions, such as pushing dinner back 15 minutes in order to allow more guests to arrive. He personally found an extra microphone for our DJ. Peter also took the time to make sure we had taken pictures with the cake before cutting and serving it to our guests.  His entire team of servers and the bartender were equally attentive and cheerful. The food was delicious - we had several guests mention how great it was! Thank you Lido Banquets, for providing an evening to remember. And for beautifully coordinating such an elaborate event!  We greatly appreciate Peter, Joanna, and their entire team! We will definitely reach out to Lido Banquets for any banquets we host in the future, for many years to come. More...

We looked at almost 20 vendors for our April 2016 wedding, and we got lucky with Lido Banquets. They're actually partnered with Manzo's Banquets in Des Plaines, and we went with Lido, since it was more affordable for us. Lido had the best price for the best type of meal, and they accommodated so many things for us. First of all, they are located in Jefferson Park, right on Milwaukee, and we couldn't have picked a better location for us and our guests. The great thing about it was that there is only one banquet room. I was worried about sharing banquets with other wedding parties, and this is pretty much what sold me. The second HUGE thing about this banquet was the price. We looked at the menu options, and the Manager, Joanna, said we could either do Individual Plates, or Family Style, which is the same price......WAIT WHAAAAT? that was definitely the best menu pricing in the whole Chicago-Northwest Suburban area. Other great things about Lido, were that they had a bridal suite/coat check (whichever one you wanted to use it as), a nice looking bar, a huge dance floor, and updated/easy-to-access bathrooms for our older guests. The tasting process was a bit unique, since they are only able to give you tastings when they have parties, but it makes sense, since they don't have a restaurant part, and they are mainly a banquet for special occasions.We booked this banquet about a year before our wedding, and I am so glad we did, because it was definitely worth it! I remember that my husband and I stopped looking after we found Lido Banquets. They give you options of chair covers, colored napkins, uplighting, and they even have centerpieces that you can use! They made everything easy, and we are so happy we found Lido!!! Our wedding was amazing, thanks to Joanna and the staff, and our guests kept telling us that they loved the food!If we have another big party, my husband and I will definitely come back and book with Lido...they really take care of you and I hope they stay in business for many years to come!
